Feeling cooped up with bored kiddos?

With all the extra precautions taking during this outbreak of the Corona Virus, we might be feeling cooped up and a little stir crazy with restless children. What are somethings we can do during this challenging time? Here are a few ideas to help with restless children and fun for the whole family.

Indoors

• Include them in cleaning tasks followed by rewards
• Read
• Board games
• Play-dough
• Puzzles
• Follow along to dance videos
• Skype relatives
• Make cards or crafts
• Decorate cardboard boxes
• Makeshift tents out of sheets or blankets
• Indoor themed tea party
• Dress up/make family videos with short skits
• Make paper kites
• Colorful hopeful picture messages
  to hang on doors or windows

Outdoors

• Let them play out in the backyard. Provide them with things on hand:
• Bubbles
• Frisbee
  
• Wiffle Balls
• Basketballs (if you own a basketball net)
• Sidewalk chalk
• Jump rope
• Treasure hunt
• Homemade tent
• Backyard picnic
• Bike riding with supervision and
  ​safe distance rules

Maybe now is a good time to let them fill plastic Easter eggs with little trinkets taking turns to hide and find.
If you have creative ideas, please share.
